Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

这种漫画般的特质也只有日本人能拿捏，莫名其妙到有点可爱。
这段感情戏挺尴尬的，咱先不说婚外情要不要批，这段戏篇幅不小但没啥亮点，甚至个人感觉没什么存在的必要。不如多花点时间刻画行动过程和细节上。剧本整体打磨不够，平铺直叙，流于浅显
多好的题材，毁在感情线给的太多了，没必要。#约翰马登补完计划#
我脸叔一把年纪了还要在廉价感情里扮演为爱冲动的毛头小子，不忍看。
真好当成现在在看的二战回忆录的佐料。可惜片子取材情感线过重，关键的谍战反而一笔带过了。
大历史下小人物的故事，总是那么迷人，尤其是有Colin Firth在场的时候。
本来以为是无趣的谍战片，没想到看到入神，有一点克制又有一点有趣。
太多电影时间用在构建尸体人物背景细节上，忽略了最重要的文件流向细节的规划和设计，另外，这段婚外恋的感情戏……感觉……和行动完全没关联，拿掉也不影响。虽然但是还是给4星🥳🥴
英国腔英国范儿可以让稳如磐石的剧本变得更有趣，英国历史剧的平淡如水都是靠演员功底提携的。理性为基准，用感性渲染，氛围是优雅精修，无声中等待炸雷，但明显炸的不够响。
2，成片质感不错，正统的拍法，摄影，对白服装都有着老派电影的调调。但剧情线实在过于平实，很多支线如柯林斯弟弟的身份啊，两位男主之间的争风吃醋和相互猜忌啊，无太多详叙的必要。

boring，尤其是感情部分更是多余，毁了这么有意思的主题
刚开始感觉就是一部平庸的日本变态人格影片，看到后面觉的这两人很酷唉，刷着共享单车，背着机关枪懒散的就去和黑帮火拼，很有意思的一部片，推荐
在🇯🇵杀手都这么光明正大，而且随随便便就可以做到吗
注视着人。。更别说是不可多得的迷人狂躁女疯子，令人着迷……
中规中矩的历史片，拨开迷雾得以看见巨型战争机器上的齿轮运作，可以说是史上最著名的诈骗行动了。
很努力地变换剪辑方式让主线不至太沉闷。紧张搞谍战之中穿插精神出轨、三角恋还有其他乌七八糟的元素干啥？啊就当调剂得了…伊恩弗莱明相关的彩蛋是亮点
算是把能数得上的明星全都笼络来 来纪念往日的荣光 比猴都精明的英国人在肉馅计划中把德国人玩的团团转 不可为不经典 但电影拍的太过沉闷 又想当传记历史一样严肃认真 又想在角色上表达英国人对自己聪明绝顶精明强干又温文尔雅风度翩翩的绅士形象加以自我欣赏 略微少了些娱乐和商业性 甚至在英国本国的票房成绩都不是特别理想
无聊又尴尬，为了不浪费钱还是看完了。心情不好的时候，看日剧真是一种折磨，看日本人的那种嘴碎和说话频率，就很烦躁。
我其实还挺喜欢的，仅仅是为了两位我爱的男主演也值了，你来我往看的很过瘾。MM瘦了变年轻了，本以为给他安排了爱情线，结果是脸叔的炮灰情敌哈哈哈，虽然是老套的爱而不得，但谁能抵御得了Colin Firth啊
